The ferry slips away from Phuket's Rassada Pier and the island archipelago unfurls like a folding map—sheer limestone walls rise from green-blue water, boats chattering as they thread between bays. On deck the wind pulls the salt into your hair; below, the air‑conditioned cabin offers a shaded pause before you step onto powder sand.
